Hi, I'm Libeeti Frenkel. I live in Israel, nearby Jerusalem, with my two boys, aged 12 and 9.

I work fulltime job and I love my job very much, but I'm also an addicted scrapper :).

I started scrapbooking on 2010, with the encouragement of a virtual friend, and I was totally hooked by this hobby. Scrapbooking became my stress relief from the everyday duties.

Besides scrapping, I also love reading, traveling, being at the beach and wathing the waves, etc.

I have been very fortunate to be on several DT, and currently on the CSI DT (Color, Stories, Inspiration); Stuck?! Sketches DT; Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge DT and a Guest Desinger of an Australin embellishment store StudioFourteen40.

I love to work with sketches and to try new techniques, new mediums and everything that makes me go out of my comfort zone. My style can be described with multi-layers, distressing and mixed media, but I also love to try a CAS style and vintage/shabby chick styles.

If you wish to see my work, I'd be very happy if you pop over to my blog:

and while you're there, I'd be happy if you leave a trail to your visit.

I'm thrilled to join the team here at Scrap Africa, with all the talented ladies of the team, so thank you, Denise, for taking me in.

Let's have a look at some of Libeeti's eye candy.

Life has been hectic, but I have been wanting to tell you a little more about our new Design Team Members.

Please accept my apologies for these introductions that are loooong overdue!!

So without further adieu, here are the first lot of ladies I would like to introduce to you, as well as show you some of their work. They are a really super bunch and I am so pleased that they are on the team.

My name is Alicja "Asica" Panewka. In scrapbooking world I'm known as "asica.p". I was born and rised in small, beatutiful polish town - Cieszyn. Following my heart last year I moved to another beautiful city - Galway in Ireland where I live with three lovely boys: my partner and two sons.

Arts and crafts are with me since I remember. 8 years ago I found scrapbooking and that was first day of my new life. This is not only hobby. For me this is passion, this is addiction, this is way of my life. I'm creating different projects: cards, albums, boxes, sometimes mixed media too.

I was a DT member for few polish companies: Rapakivi, I kropka, Studio75, The MiniArt and guest designer for Scrapandmade, Lemonade, Crafthouse, Galeria Rae. Now I'm a brand ambassador of Scrapiniec (first polish chipboard producer).

My name is Athanasia, I live in Greece, I have a 5 years old daughter, a 6 months old son and a very supportive and understanding husband. I am a music teacher in elementary school and in my spare time, when I am not playing the piano, I love making handicrafts, felting, altering things and of course scrapbooking.

My love for arts and my cultural worries pushes me constantly into researching and producing new ways of expression and creativeness. My first steps into scrapbooking began with some videos on YouTube. I can't remember exactly what I was looking for, but out of nowhere I run into a 'how-to' video for making a mini album. And that was it! I started searching for more related tutorials (I love watching and learning new techniques) and on the very next day I found myself surrounded by papers and scissors making my first mini album. It has been 3 years since then and although I took a year's brake (due to my pregnancy) now I am back.

I love scrapbooking because it combines such a vast deposit of media types with memories of my life and my family. Inspiration always derives from the photograph I use and the open choice of combination of mixed media techniques. I love to use gesso, mists and stamps and I love tearing papers! Through scraping I think I have found the best way to express myself and exploit my spare time in the best way.

Let's take a look at some of Athanasia's work.

I am so pleased to have these ladies on the team! They are wonderfully, talented ladies!

Hi. My name is Tracee Provis. I am from Bristol in the UK. I
live with my very supportive hubby, my 2 youngest children, and my crazy dogs,
which can sometimes make for a very hectic household.

When things get too crazy, I retreat to the sanctity of my scraproom,
where I love to create mainly scrapbook layouts, but I also love making cards
and altered projects and dabble in a little quilting and patchwork too.

My style is a little bit of everything, and my layouts can range
from being soft and romantic to bright and fun. I love white space on a page
thhe colour blue and my trusty tweezers.

I love to find new ways to express my thoughts. and there are always new
and fun things to try in the papercrafting world, and it is also here that I
have met fellow crafters who share my passion and have made some lasting
friendships.

I am currently part
of the design team for Bo Bunny, Scrap 365 Magazine and Papermaze, (a UK
scrapbook store).
